Take time to figure it out on your own

[sovay]

Rabbit, rabbit! In hindsight, July can perhaps be best summed up as the month where I slept so little, I didn't even manage to note the era-ending death of Olivia de Havilland.

Thus far, August appears to be the month I inherit a trenchcoat and a Scottish wool tie. Both of these items can be worn for approximately point two seconds in the current weather, but my mother managed to achieve photographic evidence first. I am assured I do not actually look like Harpo Marx.



selkie, I'm sorry, I did nothing with my hair this time except wake up with it. (I can't believe I left my hat at home.)



It took me nearly forty years to develop a fashion sense, but now I'm annoyed I didn't notice my tie was off-center.

Me: "It has a lifetime supply of pockets!" My mother: "Where do you think those spies kept everything?"

I'm just going to warn you now that I don't think anyone in my family has ever owned a Denison smock, tailored or otherwise.

We’ll live.
(Isn’t there one under the vintage twill lab coats, did you check?)

There is rather a pile of jackets . . .

[selkie]

I don’t know how one gets into the cover model business, but I bet it’s a living. At least in modest lump sums at a time. The jacket pile’s the limit.

That is an excellent look. I think the off-centre tie just adds to your rakish appeal.

Thank you! So noted.

...No, really, you and Harpo have much different effects.

There was some initial concern about whether it would fit!

(Thank you.)

Both of those articles of clothing are *excellent* and you look marvelous in them! I feel the tie especially will look lovely with any number of hats that are Sovay-type hats!

Thank you!

I think I may be existentially designed for autumn.

Oh, wow, these items were both clearly destined to be yours! I am so glad they have found their true home at last.

Love it--you look like the writer of the stories you write, and you know, not many people do!

The coat is perfect and the consensus seems to be that the crooked tie is the necessary brio.

Thank you. I guess my fashion sense is still evolving.

Love the Bletchley Park look. All you need now is a mug chained to a radiator.

Thank you!

(I have a mug with Turing on it.)

You look very dapper!

[dramaticirony]

Nice! Maybe not the clothes for the moment, but I bet it will be grand at some point when heading out to some future noir repertory programing!

I said elsewhere that I think my fashion sense is permanently set to October.
